  2. A book about women astronauts - May 5, 2026 - The 5th book in the Murderbot Diaries involves Murderbot protecting Dr. Mensah's teenage daughter while fighting a network virus and rescuing ART's crew. Good thing it can multitask. It takes place in space so I guess all the female characters are astronauts 🤷‍♀️. That's what I'm going with.

  3. “Possibly I was overthinking this? I do that. It’s the anxiety that comes with being a part organic murderbot. The upside was paranoid attention to detail. The downside was also paranoid attention to detail.”

  4. I had forgotten how great some of the asides were, like I remembered a generally snarky tone but the line about "Mensah underestimated my ability to ignore humans, but I appreciated the thought" cracked me up.

  5. I'm so jealous of #Murderbot's ability to turn its pain sensors down

    obviously I don't want to be a super-traumatized killing machine under the thumb of an ultracapitalistic system and rented out to indifferent humans who think I'm barely sentient ... but damn would it be nice to be able to adjust my pain sensors at will

  6. We really got the computer-human relationship all wrong: it should be a model of consent, rather than about restraining bolts, governor modules, or the Three Laws of Robotics

    I was thinking about this excellent speech by Martha Wells on her Murderbot diaries being stories of bodily autonomy and slavery, and about the fantastic video on The Tragedy of Droids in Star Wars by Pop Culture Detective.

    Martha Wells spells out how wrong the Three Laws of Robotics are in stipulating a subservient relationships for robots to sacrifice themselves on behalf of humans, built around fears or assumptions that robots would inherently act to harm humans (or not act to save humans) and that therefore robots should put humans before themselves.
